INTRODUCTION  - BAY STAR OUTBOARD

BayStar hydraulic steering is brought to you by the manufacturers of SeaStar®, the most trusted name in pleasure boat steering. BayStar allows you to install all of the safety, reliability and comfort of hydraulic steering onto your boats rated to a MAXIMUM of 150 HP (total). Combine this with the superior Teleflex Canada design team, rigid ISO quality control and teamed with the finest materials and precision manufacturing—BayStar continues the tradition bringing comfort and safety to boating.

Manufactured in the tradition of the whole SeaStar® family of products—for applications that exceed BayStar's HP rating please purchase one of our SeaStar® products.

With mechanical steering you sacrifice a degree of comfort, and traditional hydraulic systems may be more than is needed on lower horsepower engines. The solution is finally here—BayStar!

Built in the tradition of the industry leading hydraulic steering, SeaStar, BayStar brings the same safety and comfort now common on larger outboard powered boats to outboard powered boats with a maximum 150 HP (total) or less.
